The Youth Pre-Contest is a full-day hands-on challenge focused on physiological signal analysis using supervised and unsupervised analysis techniques. Participants will receive a dataset to train and evaluate their own model on their personal device. The goal is to develop a model that best fits the data provided and achieves the best performance according to the evaluation criteria defined by the organizers. The contest offers students, PhD’s and researchers under 36 years the opportunity to test their skills, work on a practical data-based challenge, and exchange ideas with other young researchers. The contest will take place in a hybrid format: participants can join online via Microsoft Teams or attend on-site at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences if they live close-by (snacks and drinks will be provided). Students, PhD’s and researchers under 36 years can work individually or in teams of up to three members. Participation is free of charge.
